Alberti, Leander

, adominican and provincial of his
order, was born at Bologna in 1479, and died in 1552.
| He wrote in Italian, 1. “Historic di Bologna, deca
e libro primo deca secunda sino all' anno 1253,” Bologna,
1541, 4to. The second and third books were not published
until long after his death, by F. Lucio Caccianemici, who
added two supplements, 1590 and 1591, 4to. 2. “Cronica
delle principali Famiglie Bolognesi, &c.” Vincenza, 1592,
4to. 3. “Descrizione di tutta l’Italia,” printed at Bologna
in his life-time, fol. 1550, and reprinted, Venice, 1551
and 1553, 1561, 1581, and 1588. This work, so often
published, is replete with curious facts, but the author has
shewn less judgment in adopting the fables of Annius of
Viterbo. 4. In Latin, “De Viris illustribus ordinis praedicatorum, libri sex in unum congesti,” Bologna, 1517, fol.
5. “Dialriba de increments Domini Venetæ,” and “De
claris viris reipublicse Venetæ,” which are printed in Contarini’s VenetianRepublic, ed. 2, Leiden, 1628. 1
